SF 2011 Talk: Last week to submit your application!

Since I’m not a big fan of boring lectures, tribunes or formal declarations of any kind, I’d like to introduce new format for my talk at the San Francisco conference, which, in my opinion, suits the idea of open collaborating community much better. I want those of you, who want their application to be re-designed in a fancy way, to send me links and descriptions of your work and I’ll do it not only for free (as always :), but using techniques that I’ll be talking about on stage. And I’ll use your particular application to show things in real world. To my mind it’s a totally win-win solution. I’ll have great examples to show during the talk, much better than imagining fake ones, and you’ll have nice UI/UX mockups to use (or not to use if you’d like to) in your application. Actual presence in the room during my talk is a great bonus :)

Currently it consists of:
* A main screen with two buttons; which perform similar – but different – actions.
* A menu which allows you to enable/disable/configure the various social media accounts.
* A progress bar after clicking one of the buttons.
* A results screen, showing you a summary of what’s changed.
* Showing your contacts, and to whom they are mapped.
* A screen allowing you to map a contact to an existing account.

Being so data driven, coming up with a compelling Qt Quickable UI – without the bounds and requirements laid down by Hildon – is too much of a blank canvas :-(

Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems?
A small number of my blog readers have complained about my website not working
correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any advice
to help fix this issue?
